    ATV vs Side by Side archery elk hunting

    For small trails atv. For two tracks where you will beat the hell out of your truck, SxS. Most places I take my atv a SxS would work just fine and be a lot more comfortable so I vote for the bigger more comfortable machine.

    Christmas ideas

    Gift cards for your favorite gear. I usually tell my wife not to get me anything because it ends up something I don’t want or even use. 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️ the thought is there. She does good when she asks my brother what to get me.

    5 pin vs Single pin

    I understand. You have to shoot what you are comfortable with and confident in. I tried multiple horizontal pins one season and I used the wrong pin and shot right under a nice buck. 🤣 If I tried multiple pins again it would definitely be two vertical pins on a slider. The vertical pins just...

    5 pin vs Single pin

    The mistake most people use with a single pin slider is that they want to move the sight in a hunting situation. Don’t move it for anything under 40 yds. Set it at 30 and leave it there. With the right set up you will be able to aim right at the animal all the way down to 10 yds. Learn your...

    2025 Hoyt’s

    I like that color! Is that the 32 or the 29? I’m starting to lean heavily on getting the 32. Upgrade from 2012 Hoyt.

    Archery market (bows)

    I usually buy the bow I want when I want. Which is usually about every 10-12 years. lol current one is 12 years old and going strong but I have the itch for a new bow. Definitely not a carbon though.

    Podium HIT inserts

    I’m really interested in the 5.0 arrows as well. I’m a fmj guy so their new fmj max has me even more interested in them. I just use a 50 grain brass insert and a 100 grain broadhead. No collar.

    Deer Brats

    I prefer to use pork fat. My minimum weight for anything I make is 12 lbs of meat. I generally add about 2-3 lbs of pork fat for 12 lbs of meat. I can adjust accordingly when someone wants more than 12 lbs made.

    Fleshing tool recommendation

    It might be a little too much for a raccoon. It does work on a beaver hide though. I had a smaller pressure washer I would use to flesh turkeys with and a 3000 psi for big game hides and capes. Also used it to flesh beef and buffalo hides.

    Fleshing tool recommendation

    I called it a rotary nozzle but it’s definitely a turbo nozzle. It works so well that I don’t understand why most taxidermists don’t use it. Once I saw how it works I quickly made up a plywood board and then set it up at a steep angle. I could lay half the hide over it or most of a cape with the...

    Fleshing tool recommendation

    For big stuff like deer and above nothing beats a 3000 psi power washer with a rotary tip. It will flesh beaver hides as well. Smaller stuff use a draw knife or you can use a beef skinner and rub in something like borax or soda ash so it’s not so slippery. I fleshed tons of hides and capes with...

    What are you buying? - Black Friday

    T Mobile Starlink Sat Phone

    That would be nice with Starlink. My wife and I are thinking of switching to T-Mobile as well just because it’s way cheaper than Verizon.

    Roasts or Burger?

    I cut my backstraps into 6”-8” roasts and smoke them wrapped in bacon. Slice for a thick steak when done or even thin for some kind of sandwich or Philly cheesesteak. Tenderloins are left whole and smoked as well. One or two inside rounds are cut then tenderized for country fried steak or steak...

    Whole Animal Butchered Cuts

    A bandsaw certainly speeds things up on beef but it’s only necessary if you’re wanting bone in cuts. You can break the primals down with a good 25” breaking saw and then can cut anything you want without the bone. However, some cuts the bone is needed to give the final cooked product more flavor...

    Damnit! 1st Aid anyone?

    Looks like two holes? Definitely wash and try to put some kind of disinfectant on it. Apply some kind of pressure bandage. Get help. If it went in and down then poked out again then it will need more extensive cleaning down inside the wound channel.

    Whole Animal Butchered Cuts

    Tomahawk steaks, Denver steaks, ranch steaks, whole tenderloin instead of filet but this requires you get NY strip instead of T-bones. Bone in prime rib, outside and inside skirts, flank steaks, delmonico, short ribs, flanken ribs, country style ribs, Dino ribs, bront ribs, shanks, neck roast...

    Do you tip your game processor?

    It’s just a foreign concept to me. I have gutted a few that were dropped off but the cost was much higher. Processing+gutting+skinning+specialty items if wanted. I’ve just always viewed it as it’s the hunters job to completely field dress the animal. The processors job is just that, process the...

    Do you tip your game processor?

    Holy chit! You don’t gut all your deer before dropping them off?! That’s a pretty big No No with most processors I know in the West.
